I feel missed out. What are some spicy communities where these arguments are going on?
Younger brother tries to ragebait me with obtuse wrongness thinking he is being clever.
Pull uno reverse card on him with acute correctness and sociopathic level of patience.
It works and now he is insanely angry that he can’t make me mad.
Continue to make him so angry he can’t form coherent sentences.
He starts yelling at me and demands that I apologize
Tell him I’m sorry that he is an idiot and wish he hadn’t wasted so much of our time doing idiot things.
He kicks me out of the house and I’m uninvited to Christmas
Sucks being correct sometimes.
On Lemmy it’s more like, I realised I was wrong 5 comments ago and now I’ll just trying to soothe my ego by arguing semantics, but when I run out of things to say I’ll just block everyone.
On lemmy it’s more like, “I’m now going to call you a genocide supporter.”
I love how everyone thinks they’re master debaters here but would get absolutely dog-walked in any other setting. Or just laughed out of the room
Hey now, I know I’d get stomped on by twats like Ben Shapiro IRL, but give me 10 minutes alone in a bedroom with his sister and I’ll make him regret it.
Lol. You could probably take Ben, there’s a reason why he and the TPUSA team only ever argues with children.
You’ll have to fistfight me for Abbi’s massive Hebrew heavies tho
The moment the convo stop being via text i am so cooked, i just cannot talk IRL without stammering(i also have those embarassing moments where i often forget a word in my language but not in english…)
Believe it or not, that’s not really a disqualifier to competitors. The sport is pretty professional and uses a way different skillset than people realize, fluent unbroken english not being one of them
Yeah umh, the problem is that in real debates IRL people will interrupt you often and i fucking hate that, gimme me time i need to process things!
In an argument they will. That’s not really what I’m talking about though, arguing is never not stupid, people do it just to debase themselves in front of their acquaintances in the hopes that they’ll drag someone else down in the process.
Check this out, you don’t have to watch the whole thing. But these people are the best in the world. The competition is formal and has a system, you aren’t allowed to only debate things you personally support, there is no interrupting or rude behavior because people actually want to win for their universities. TPUSA stopped going to actual debates like this because they kept getting humiliated on camera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tngaDNSlCpU
Bo Seo is Korean and often stammers but they won the world championships twice
That seems a fun competition, thanks for sharing!
Every argument with my ex-wife I ever had.
That guy is a master debater.
A Cunning Linguist if you will
It’s worse than reddit.
No it isn’t.
so many users on lemmy
I don’t even understand the point of making someone mad via text conversations. You can’t see their face turn red with rage or hear the sounds they make, so it’s not even funny. 🤷♂️
Engagement and data collection … sometimes it’s just a way to collect data. Anyone that responds gets added to their list of accounts that have a live person.
They do the same for telemarketing, email, mail, phone, sms, and any other contact request … once there’s a response, it’s confirmation that the account has a human owner
If you do it well enough they’ll call your ass. And if you’re smart you don’t answer the first call. If you can bait them into leaving a voicemail you’ve won.
somebody had downvoted you. Check your voicemail
They let you know in other ways
Gotta admire the dedication.
